I think there’s an opportunity. We know what needs to be done. It’s in the Pact. For example, there’s now a realization that the Security Council has to be reformed and enlarged.

[Tim Unwin @TimUnwin]

@Culture_Shift And so you really think that it will be?

[Firdaus Kharas, OC @Culture_Shift]

The adoption of the Pact at the #SummiOfTheFuture provides us with a comprehensive document to ground some progress. We must reverse the decline of a law-based international order. The document has to be implemented in its entirety.

@PEPFAR @m2mtweets I think the Dr might have meant to say ‘no child is born with HIV’
